DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – The Dallas Police Department identified three suspects Tuesday in the Murder of a witness in the trial for former Dallas Police Officer Amber Guyger.
Joshua Brown was found shot to death outside his apartment two days after Amber Guyger was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the killing of Botham Jean. Brown testified for the Prosecution in Guyger’s murder trial about what he heard that night as Botham Jean’s neighbor. After his killing, speculation surfaced that his death could be related to his testimony, but Dallas Police said Tuesday Brown was killed in a drug deal gone bad.
“All three suspects came from Alexandria, Louisiana to purchase drugs from Joshua Brown,” Assistant Dallas Police Chief Avery Moore said.
According to Moore, Jacquevion Mitchell is hospitalized in Police custody after claiming to have been shot by Brown before he was killed. Thadeus Charles Green and Michael Diaz Mitchell are still on the loose. Each of the three men are expected to be charged with Capital Murder.
Police emphasized Brown’s death is not related to the Guyger trial, despite implicating social media posts by some leaders in Dallas.
“I encourage those leaders to be mindful of their actions moving forward,” said Moore. “Because their words have jeopardized the integrity of the City of Dallas as well as the Dallas Police Department.”
